BIGMallrat's Editorial Review
The Crocker Galleria is a beautiful
shopping center, modeled after Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
II. During the week, this center is bustling with daytime office
workers from the surrounding high rises or the affluent who don't
need to work. On Saturdays, this mall is generally
quite and offers a nice respite from the energy of downtown. On
Sundays, the center is closed.
Although the
mall has a roof, it isn't fully enclosed. The sides are open
to the elements. You may want to bring a jacket
in the cool summer months.
Stores
Crocker Galleria features some fine names in shopping,
including Polo Ralph Lauren, the Ralph Lauren Home Store, and Barcelino.
The mall also hosts a Farmer's Market every Thursday
between 11 AM and 3 PM.
Food
On Level 3 you'll find many places to get a quick
bit to eat. A pleasant seating area is provided to relax
and enjoy the views.
Must see
Don't miss the rooftop garden. A little oasis
in the heart of the financial district.
Parking
A number of garages surround the center, but the
Post Montgomery Center Garage on Sutter Street between Montgomery
and Kearny offers 2 hours free parking on Saturdays with any $10
purchase at the mall.
Location
The Crocker Galleria is located in the heart of
San Francisco CA, at Post Street and Montgomery, just two blocks
east of Union Square.
From BART or MUNI, exit north from the Montgomery
Street Station.
While you are here
It's a quick walk to Union
Square.
